Samsung Unveils 3 Galaxy Z Foldables, Adding 8-Inch Fold8 Ultra

3 articles · Updated · Samsung Global Newsroom · Aug 12

Summary

  • Three new devices headline Samsung’s latest foldable lineup: the compact Galaxy Z Flip8, the new Galaxy Z Fold8 and the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
  • The range is pitched around different use cases rather than a single flagship winner—Flip8 for portability and selfies, Fold8 for viewing and gaming, and Ultra for multitasking on an 8-inch main screen.
  • Samsung says all three models build on eight generations of foldable development, with upgrades centered on displays, durability, portability, performance and software tuned to each form factor.
  • The launch extends a broader foldables push that already included the Galaxy Z TriFold earlier this year, as Samsung broadens its portfolio to cover more price points and user needs.
